Description
Logistic regression is reviewed in estimating the underlying model parameters and in making inferences about the parameters. A contingency table approach in computing goodness of fit in logistic regression is elaborated. An existing data on a sample of lung cancer patients and a control group is used to apply the procedures discussed. The data reveals that between the groups considered, the factors 'bird keeping' and 'the number of years of smoking' are significant as the causes for lung cancer. This is a Post Hoc data analysis study.
